Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Buy the Wi-Fi package to stay connected with friends and family back home.
✓Book group shore excursions to feel less alone and for safety.
✓Look for online roll calls to meet other cruisers before sailing.
✓Consider booking a solo cabin to avoid the single supplement fee, if available.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Feeling bored or alone — There are many activities and distractions on a cruise ship, and the social nature encourages interaction.
Eating alone in sit-down restaurants — Try the main dining room alone; it can be a great experience, and staff won't mind.
Paying the single supplement fee — Look for more economically priced cruises in off-peak times like January or September/October.
